In this post we will see how to model hyperelasticity in a large deformation problem. This case is taken from a publicy available example on the internet, but the original source is probably this one, for all due credit. To read this article one will need some knowledge both in Nastran and in Code_Aster. Large scale deformation of a … Continue reading Nastran to Code_Aster: hyperelasticity

Code_Aster and MPI parallelism on Windows
The Code_Aster for Windows binary package available for free in our download page does not include MPI parallelism. For those interested in performance, we build a premium version, with powerful MPI parallelism and MUMPS 5.1.1, that aims to better exploit multi-core modern processors. We present here performance comparison and time gain by increasing number of processes … Continue reading Code_Aster and MPI parallelism on Windows
Quantum Mechanics simulation using Finite Elements
This post is about an unusual kind of simulation using Code_Aster: a quantum mechanics system. In this case we will try to calculate the probability of finding the electron somewhere in a hydrogen atom. This means that we need to find the wave function of the electron in a potential field, by solving this problem … Continue reading Quantum Mechanics simulation using Finite Elements
Altair HyperMesh to Code_Aster: exporting mesh
This post is about how to export a Code_Aster compatible mesh from a widely used professional pre-processor: Altair HyperMesh™. To read this article one will need some knowledge both in HyperMesh™ and in Code_Aster. Special thanks to: Dr. Enrico Bertocchi from "Enzo Ferrari" department at Unimore University for his precious help with the HyperMesh™ interface and testing the … Continue reading Altair HyperMesh to Code_Aster: exporting mesh
Beginning with post-processing Paravis module in Salome-Meca
This post presents some useful tricks to get started with Salome-Meca Pavavis module (or Paraview). Let's assume you already have followed this tutorial or by another way, got a Code_Aster rmed result file open in Paravis. Deformed Shape As shown in previous posts, it is possible to show the displacement field as a magnitude scalar … Continue reading Beginning with post-processing Paravis module in Salome-Meca
Beginning with AsterStudy and Salome-Meca on Windows
This post is a step-by-step tutorial for beginners wishing to start with the new AsterStudy interface on Windows. This is an update compared to this post, published a few months ago, before AsterStudy came out. We are going to proceed the same way here: Pick up an existing case Run the case Analyze results This … Continue reading Beginning with AsterStudy and Salome-Meca on Windows
